KOEB be very, very jealous!
I e-mailed KO the article about the Webster Groves UCC church that had Spongebob Squarepants as guest of honor which he mentioned last night. Now the URL is featured on the Countdown newsletter.

1. The KOEB is above jealousy. Of course, you could JOIN us...;- )
Besides, I think multiple people -- including at least one KOEB member -- sent him that link. It's so perfect for his combination of honest outrage and snarky humor; what a grand way to take down these hyprocritical pseudoreligious poseurs.

We KOEB types email KO often. We figure he gets so many emails per day, getting multiple hits on what we view as important stories strengthens their possibility of being chosen for the show or his blog. So even if yours was not the ONLY one, it was still important!

But JEALOUS? US???? BWA-HA-HA!
:evilgrin:

3. A response that I'm sure KO would be quite proud for its snarkiness!!!
And, I hope 'Gogi' digs deep for an even snarkier retort :evilgrin:


ARE WE HAVING SOME FUN WHILE DOING THE SERIOUS WORK OF SAVING OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR AMERICA?? -- sure looks like it thanks to the KOEBers!!!!

Peace.

4. HI UL!! And another hello to Gogi too!
I do believe that keeping one's spirits and hope up for the fight to restore democracy in this country is a serious business that cannot be allowed to languish (witness my username). I also believe that there are some political issues -- witness SpongeBobgate -- that are particularly suited to and deserving of ridicule. Keith Olbermann and the newspaper reports on topics like this may be funny, but they're also deadly serious. Especially in his Jan 29 blog on the subject (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240), his outrage is clear in every line and synergizes with his snarky humor to produce a devastating counterattack.

I've included this Mark Twain quote in several of my posts recently - it seems to be relevant in multiple contexts:
Irreverence is the champion of liberty and its only sure defense.

Gogi - don't be put off by the long threads of KOEB. Come on, join us! You'll be welcomed and will contribute to our famous ambiance. That goes for whichever gender you are, we have some brave & perceptive men that usually join us as well. (By the way, I don't have cable and have a very slow, cranky dialup connection, but that doesn't keep me away.)

UL - thanks again for your kind welcome to the KOEB. It's lifted OUR spirits, I can tell you. I hope we can spread some cheer even if we aren't always strictly relevant to the 2004 Elections Forum. IMO, exposing the fraud/suppression and cleansing the corrupted election process is a deadly serious fight that needs all the good spirits it can get, even if they come with an occasional excess of those floaty things.
